Georgia School Choice Supporters Say They Won Big in Election

One of the nation’s top school choice advocacy organizations says the November midterm elections produced positive results for the cause.

The American Federation for Children works in states across the country to help secure additional, high-quality educational options for families. The group had some choice candidates in Georgia and the group now says the election season was a win for school choice.
